Jane Bakx Yoga — Local services in Wijdemeren

I just finished a 50-hour Yin Yoga Teacher training in Orgiva, Spain with Jane Bakx Yoga. And it was, simply put, a magical experience. Jane is an amazing and experienced teacher. More than that, she is a very warm, welcoming and friendly human being. Together with Brenda who is also a very nice and well experienced, they taught us for the whole week. I did not only learn a lot about Yin Yoga, but Jane and Brenda also provided a safe space for us to grow individually as a person. As our group dynamics were very good, we also had our fair share of laughs during classes (not during Yoga, of course). This provided the ideal breeding ground for intensive and comprehensive learnings. Particularly the lessons in anatomy, where Jane has profound knowledge in, were so extensive that I wish every Teacher Training would put such emphasis on them. Brenda's gripping workshops (e.g. Chi Gong and Fascia Stimulation) were perfect complements to the training. The Yoga lessons where perfect and both Jane and Brenda have their own style of teaching, which is good, since, as an aspiring Yin Yoga Teacher, you get a sense yourself of how the personality and training of a teacher affects the lesson itself.

Beside the mat, our every culinary needs where met with Amanda's cooking. To call her a wizardess of the kitchen would be one of the biggest understatements. Everyone ate until they where (sometimes more than) full since the food was so good.

Also: the venue. Just look at fotos of Almond Hill House and you might get an inkling of how beautiful and calming the place was. I think the fotos say more than words, so I will refrain from insufficient tries of describing this wonderful estate.

As you might suspect from my praise: Jane has crafted the perfect Yin Yoga Teacher Training for you. The only thing it is missing...

I recently joined the Reconnect & Rebalance yoga retreat in Órgiva, Spain, with Jane Bakx Yoga, and it was truly one of the most nourishing and memorable experiences I’ve ever had.

Set in the idyllic Andalusian mountains, the retreat offered the perfect escape from daily life. We stayed at Almond Hill House—a beautiful and special haven nestled in nature. The space felt instantly welcoming, thanks to the wonderful hosts, Kay and Becky, whose warmth and hospitality made everything feel effortless.

One of the absolute highlights was the food. Amanda prepared the most divine vegetarian meals, bursting with flavour and creativity. As a meat eater, I was amazed by how satisfied and inspired I felt by every dish.

The garden and dining area were simply magical—surrounded by lush greenery and draped in wisteria, it felt like being completely at one with nature. In the evenings, we even saw the local goat herder guiding his goats through the mountains, which only added to the charm and serenity of the experience.

Jane, created a safe and supportive space for everyone, regardless of yoga experience. Her ability to tune in to each person’s needs in such an intimate group setting was truly special.

I attended the retreat on my own and felt completely at ease from the moment I arrived. I left not only rebalanced and refreshed but also with new friendships that I’ll truly treasure.

I’m already looking forward to returning next year—this retreat is a gift to anyone who needs a true reset in a breath...

I recently attended a 50-hour yin yoga teacher training course in Spain with Jane Bakx Yoga. I was incredibly happy with the course, it was delivered to a high standard, professional and thorough, with a good balance of both practical and theory. The days were broken into daily yin practices, relevant lectures on anatomy, physiology and philosophy and teaching practice in small groups. The lectures were always super interesting. The course was in a beautiful setting in the mountains, and the Teachers, Jane and Brenda were knowledgable and experienced and left no stone unturned to ensure we left equipped with the confidence, knowledge and understanding to teach yin yoga in the future. The accommodation was lovely and the food was freshly prepared daily and we were always amazed by the chef Amanda’s creative and super tasty lunches and dinners. I highly recommend this training if you want to become a yin yoga teacher or just want to improve your yin practice with wonderful teachers and...
